Hello, Cupcake

Today on the Scrapbook Circle blog, one of our blog coordinators, Diana, is sharing a great sketch for the monthly blog challenge.

Here's my take on the sketch:

First of all, doesn't that picture make you really crave a cupcake? I'm not usually a big cupcake fan, but my sister, Michelle, discovered a place called Ollie Cake in Phoenix through the show Cupcake Wars on the Food Network that has fabulous cupcakes. The cake is moist + the frosting is delicious.

My mom, Michelle and I went to Ollie Cake the week they were featuring the four cupcake flavors they used when they won Cupcake Wars last month. The flavors were a little unusual, but that was part of what made the experience so fun. They had a tomato soup and grilled cheese cupcake that it was sweet like carrot cake. There was also a rosewater cupcake which I wasn't very excited about ordering because it didn't sound very tasty, but it ended up being my favorite flavor. There was also a corn cake with a berry compote topping and a chocolate/orange cupcake. I've only been once, but I need to go again soon!

The Scrapbook Circle Talk of the Town kit was a lot of fun to use when creating this page. I loved how all of the colors and patterns worked together. Don't forget to stop by the Scrapbook Circle blog to find out the details on the sketch challenge.
